The workshop, held in February this year, resulted in the publication of a report by the W3C including but not limited to the following:
- Home networking and second-screen scenarios
- The role of metadata and relation to Semantic Web technology
- Ensuring that convergent solutions are accessible
- Possible extensions to HTML5 for television
The release of this report is designed to create some consistency in how televisions are incorporating online content.
The W3C’s involvement in this area is relatively new, and discussion on how W3C standards can be introduced continues in the Web and TV Interest Group. Media Access Australia’s W3C representative, Dr Scott Hollier, writes a monthly column on the W3C for those interested in keeping up to date with general W3C news.
